Unless another party is sanctioning the minor purchases.
It is a major seas change in policy, and I can't see it is of Rafa's doing. Three young British talents in as many weeks?
It's not like £5m is a great sum in the major scheme of things, it's just not like us since Rafa's tenure.
I wonder if Dalglish has been given a bit more authority in the Football side of things, and Purslow is involved, hence Rafa's alleged falling out.

Managing Director Christian Purslow told Liverpool's official wesbite: "The success of our Academy is vital to the future progress of the club and we have made clear that we will invest in outstanding young talent.

"Raheem is a very exciting young English player whose progress was being closely monitored by many other leading clubs and I'm delighted he's joining us.

"Frank McParland and his staff have done a great job in bringing him to Liverpool."

Do you think Frank McParland was ahead of Rafa in the request to buy these kids Ross?

 

[Insignificance]

We are running a multibillion business here. It is not like Hicks and Gillett are monitoring every dime we spend. I assume we have budgets to operate within and people with competence to make decisions on day to day basis!

 

[spider-Neil]

rafa should trust these kids in the CC rather than giving a run out to players who can't get a game.

Given Purslow's comments it looks that way in this case.

To answer Rafa4PM's perfectly valid question, I would imagine the 'business as usual' mantra is important for H&G because it gives the club a more stable, less crisis-ridden facade: important for potential buyers. Presumably a fund was set up specifically to sign young English talent, and these transfers are being paid out of that.

I don't think it necessarily means we'll have money to spend in the summer though. This could just as easily signal a new Arsenal-esque policy on transfers. Sterling, Shelvey and Wilson might well end up as our headline transfer signings for the summer of 2010...

How could you "assume" it was our Sunny ?

Funnily enough, I took a gander over there this morning and saw that thread.

It took me about 0.0031 seconds to work out it couldn't be the big man.

 

[LEMONed]

Should've spent it on victor moses though.
